You used well water to fill a pool how do you get the orangish-brown color to be clear?

Our pool was brown when we first opened it this year, I guess the tarp fell from being too heavy with water, and all the leaves and dirt sitting on it fell in! A complete mess, You can shock it and add chlorine or pool sanitizer its called. But the majority of ours was leaves. So for a week straight i was using a leaf basket scooping leaves out, i was told the shock and chlorine help break them down. Once mostly they are all out you can start to vaccum the dirt up. It takes a while but less mess than drainig your pool i thought! Make sure you dump some algecide in too!
